Has anyone ever noticed you can smile and say 'hello' to an elderly person you've never met and they'll mirror you, but if you dare do it with a teenager, they'll just look at you funny and/or laugh. Weird._________________

Depends on the teenager. Some will smile back. Other just give you a dirty look for daring to smile at them. Either that, or they'll give you a blank stare. _________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Hormones run wild, it makes them feel like they are on top of the world. Been through that stage, not fun._________________Darth Vegas the unwise...

Lol teenagers aren't the brightest bunch, but I spent two years of my college in Lincoln NE and I gotta tell ya, that isn't true there. That is the friendliest state I've ever seen. Random people smile and wave on the road, people have morals and values (well more than other places I've been), people around campus were great. It was nice._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

I love it when a random stranger will just ask you "how's it going?" Especially if it is a guy who doesn't look like that type. It proves stereotypes wrong every time. I had a guy do that to me yesterday at the store. He was just passing me and asked "how's it going?" I think anyone like that must have an awesome personality and is probably cool to be around.

Yeah, that's always great. You can actually get to know people just from one friendly gesture. Case in point: when I first started college this semester, I didn't really know anyone in my classes. I was sitting in music one day and I glanced at the girl sitting across from me. I smiled, she smiled back. After class, we started a conversation. Now I have a friend in that class. _________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

I don't mean to force my lifestyle on anyone but I've noticed that when I've dated girls that chivarly is there. Like I've had doors held open for me, I've even had my car door opened up with my newest girlfriend. Maybe it's just the guys who have dumped it._________________

I really don't think it's a gender thing anymore. I think the issue is people in general. I bet you the ones who are not chivalrous just don't care, or are lazy.

The other side is moods. I know there are somedays when my mood is so foul that avoiding people is mine and their best strategy.

But that doesn't change the fact that people SHOULD be more polite and chivalrous to each other._________________-Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn. None shall pass.

I agree I try to be as polite as possible however some days when I'm just in a bad mood my politeness tends to go away._________________

Ithink a big thing is how we're told to look after ourselves above others by self-help people and such. I mean, how are they supposed to respond when it's shoved down their throats like that. If you're told it's okay to be selfish, of course you're gonna be selfish._________________
